Publix - coupon shopping

Time for Coupons!! 

I have been planning my Publix shopping trip today.  I think my favorite deal this week is the voskos Greek yogurt for 25 cents.  I like Greek yogurt but hate the higher price tags, so I am excite to get it so cheap this week.  What deals are you excited about this week?

Fall Link Up

I would love to see all your fall happenings!  Please join me in my fall link up.  I would love to find some new fall recipes, crafts, and other fun!!

I just love getting samples in the mail! It excites me to see them instead of bills in my box!!!

Pumkin prints with little hands

I wanted to do a craft with  babybug.  

What I decided to do was make pumkins with her hand prints.  

These were really easy to make the orange is the palm for her hand.  The brown is a finger print.  I had bought green paint to make a little leaf with a finger print but after the stems baby bug was done with the painting so we did not add the leaf.  You can do back and use a black marker to outline the pumpkin if you wish.  We added a title that said Momma's lil' pumpkin, or Granny's lil' pumpkin to the top of ours. 

Decoupage Pumpkins

I had a lot of fun earlier this week creating Decoupage Pumpkins.

I first saw this project on Random Thoughts of a Super Mom

These were super easy to make and super cheap.  I used three decorative pumpkins from dollar tree, three pieced of fall scrap book paper from hobby lobby ( 1/2 off this week) and some decoupage glue.  Simply tear the paper into little pieces and glue it onto the pumpkin.  I used a sponge paint brush to glue the papers on.  The hardest part: my hands got gluey then it was hard to hold onto the pumpkin. This would be a great project to do with children.  Be prepared though it is a messy project!!

Fall is in the air

Fall is surely here, and I love it!! 

I love fall scented candles - apple pie and pumkin spice.

I love the colorful leaves that are surely on the way.  The leaf piles and brisk air. 

I love the pumpkins and babies in overalls.

I love Fall!! 

I got the fall decoration box down!!  Time to transform the house in fall!

I love this target dollar spot find.  Baby bug is going to be eating in style with her fall dishes!!

Apples from the orchard yum!! 

A couple of fall projects fun!! 

Happy Fall everyone!!

Fun kid pajamas- review and giveaway

Kids in pajamas is just one of the cutest things ever!!  I love mornings at home with baby bug relaxing in our pj's.

Fun Kid Pajamas is a great place to find reasonably priced jammys for the kiddos.  They have some very cute varieties.  

We were sent the Laura Dare Dalmatian Pink Nightgown to try out on baby bug.

We were very impressed.  It was such a sweet little nightgown.  Baby bug loved it.  It is made of very durable material and feels silky smooth.  I wondered how well it would wash, but it was done great I have washed it several times and it looks as new and when I first took it out of the package.  My only complaint- it made my baby girl look to much like a big girl!!  Do they grow up fast or what?  

Fun kids Pajamas has lots and lots of pajamas to choose from.  You can shop by age, category, or by character.  All the shopping options makes it easy to find just the right jammys for your little one.  I could see a pair of pajamas making a great Christmas gift. 

I think these sweet snowman pj's would be perfect jammys to wake up in on Christmas Morning!! 

Want to hear some good news?  FunKidsPajamas.com is offering one Learning to be Thrifty Reader a $25 gift certificate.
